Really good and we look forward to next time.
Pros:

Perfect location. Liked our spacious ground floor room. Extremely helpful and friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us. Beautifully cooked breakfasts.

Cons:

Nothing really. The cooked breakfasts took a long time but were freshly cooked so worth the wait if not in a hurry. Would have preferred a pot of coffee instead of having to wait for a second cup to be offered but these are minor things and did not detract from a very pleasant stay.

I liked the light airy and country feel to this Inn. The food was was good and staff friendly.
Pros:

A basic buffet was offered, however the staff were very accommodating to requests, both in the restaurant and generally. The food was hot and very well presented. I really liked this Inn as it was light and airy yet it had a warm cozy feel to it too. It also had a nice outside tabled area, weather permitting.

Cons:

-This was not an issue for me, however it should be noted that the stairs are steep and narrow to the first floor rooms. - Some of the rooms have the shower within the bath, whilst other rooms have a walk in shower.
- there did not appear to be a relaxing/lounge area
